Latest reports from Osaka, 200 miles from the capital, to which correspondents are reporting by airplane, and from Pekin, where official radio messages are being inter- cepted, show the catastrophe to be far worse than was at first believed. Tokyo, seat of Japan’s modern civilization, has been reduced to a collection of scat- tered villages that still are in flames, while the dead lie heaped in the streets or buried beneath great quantities of debris. Yokohama is in ruins, a tidal wave having carried away part of the city as well as engulfing many adjoining coastal towns. One island and a populated peninsula are reported to have disappeared altogether with their in- habitants. |JAPANESE NATION SET BACK . fa a ome BY TRAGEDY ; | e Japanese nation is declared to haye Let Seattle Be |been set back a generation and to have lost ; |its position as fourth world power thru the te a Aid |\catamity +o its public buildings, institatenm GGomssct o>) UGD-SLAVIAIS (LABOR DAY IS SEATTLETOAD | * TOPE tO “MIC |e ree | + WAITING ACTION OBSERVED HERE QUAKE VICTIMS | nic exotics tics. com gee guosttee | tion amid Ie’ chans Proniee Vera — i — ing of the stricken Japanese. formed and established his cabinet during ‘je, Corfu Occupation Consid-|Picnic and Benefit Dance Chamber Plans to Take Ac- | \ cruel blow has fallen on our neighbor land to the | the terror that followed the first great shock % | ered as Invasion of Rights Are Main Events tion on Matter Immediately |} west, a jerey eal: ya pipe aed ac atfee. |@t noon Saturday; shortly afterward he was i3 ls sympathy Pactica # as bl . . . .
